QUESTION

Not receiving credit for my work?

Asked on Dec 21st, 2012 on Intellectual Property - Ohio
More details to this question:
I have been working on a promotional video for my trade school that will be shown to other schools in the immediate area. I did most of the video and all of the audio work on the video. The intro was created by myself, with no one assisting. Due to some trouble I got in awhile back, they are taking my name off the project and the credits, but still using my work. What can I do?

Dear Mr Brandon, depending on the nature of the work you have done and its actual originality as well as the gravity of the school action taken against you, you could consider sending the school administration a straight forward legal notice apprising them of your rights and your wish to have your name acknowledged on the video.If you think you have a proper IP right to the video, why don't you consider publishing it to your youtube account or any of your social networks before it is released alongwith credit to your name?While we do not have too much information from your end to assist you currently, a few more details could help us pinpoint exactly how you can proceed with a cost-effective legal strategy in this case.
